Artist in Residence no.06

Vesna is an autodidact collage artist living and working in Amsterdam. We were intrigued by her collages and invited her over to take part in our Artists in Residence series at our beautiful Vaudeville Theatre , which is a lofty space hidden in the busy city centre of Amsterdam. There, she worked for a full day and gave us an impressive visual insight in her way of working and what inspires her.

Welcome to The Loft, please introduce yourself.

My name is Vesna Vrdoljak. I’m an autodidact collage artist.

What materials do you usually work with and what did you bring today?

I usually work with old magazines, mainly from the 50’s and sixties, old books and other found pieces of paper involving photographs. Today I brought some old and also some new magazines. I usually buy a couple of new magazines every month. I get inspired by new fashion and art magazines and like to combine new and old images. I also brought some printed blown up stuff.
